2047 is a research-based mixed-media installation that speculates on the end of capitalism. In the style of Post-No-Bills walls, I constructed a 4x8 foot sculpture and a publication, the Harbinger, to be displayed on a wire rack. Wheatpasted on it are a series of posters, stickers, and printed ephemera.The Harbinger is produced by Brooke Lord at Other World Riso.
Glorious headlines typeset in the five most-spoken languages in the world at the time declare that a general worker’s strike will win globally. Since networked printers can no longer be trusted, the Harbinger is printed solely on the risograph- reworking the machine to print large-format editions of the latest agitprop at a 22x34 size.
The content is sourced from across the scope of my research from the political archives of the past, present, and future- between communist newspapers, wannabe writers, and theoretical academics dating all the way back to the 60s, to published just a year ago.
